RE:"Actually I think it was Sept. 1998 when Intel introduced Mendocino, the first Celeron with on-die L2 cache. Early 1999 would have left the fox in the henhouse too long. "... Actually it was December 98 when Intel started to jack up the MHz on the Mendocino/and cut prices (which debuted at 300a and 333 I recall)to 366 and 400 and more. Meanwhile AMD had to get e-machines on the phone to take all the K6-2 CXT cores with had to be down binned to 300 and 333 because they had such a high failure rate at 400MHZ... When AMD got it fixed, most of their accounts had switched to Celerons. Jim
